SO far they only have 40 votes. 20 shy of the 60 needed.

 

This deal will rear it's ugly head again sometime in the future.

 

Obama's next trump card is the U.N Treaty, but will need 2/3 vote to ratify.

 

Don't let down your guard America....Obama and his lapdogs have plenty more tricks up the sleeves.

They only dropped the AWB part. They are still going for expanded background checks and magazine limits with the possibility of adding the AWB back in as an amendment at the last minute. You know, one of those we need to pass it to see what is in it kind of things.

 

Do not trust these people or let up on your reps. Especially guys like Flake and McCain.

Its a shame we cant trust our own senator to vote with us. He has had his time. Off with him...

I agree that we shouldn't let down on our reps or on this issue. Soon as they think we're not paying attention WHAM!!! Feinstein gets her AWB and we get the short end of the deal. We owe Magpul, Beretta and the others who put it all on the line, to stand firm and not let our guard down until its officially over.

 

Personally, I'd like to see all the pending bills get shot down. I have a big problem with having to get the governments permission before I can sell a privately owned legal item. Especially when I have to pay a 'fee' for the priviledge. You know, of course, that 'fee' is just 'tax' spelled differently.

It will come back up again. Right now they want to try and get thier foot in the door by banning some magazines as well as the background check. Harry new they will have a better chance at passing these two things if they took the AWB out of the bill.

I think the Dem's realized they are trying to take too big of a bite out of a sour apple. Now they will start chipping away at the smaller items...one at a time. They will not give up!
